## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the coloured pieces wooden?**
A: Yes they are wooden, so you might get some imperfections in the pieces where the wood chipped when they were being made.

**Q: how many players is this suitable for**
A: You can play this game on your own against a timer. You can have two players race against each other. You can also have lots of players race against a timer by taking turns. The aim of the game is, one to place all your pieces, and two to get the fastest time. It does make you think but I hope this helps.

**Q: Does this game come with just a single board and pieces? or does it come with 2 sets like Genius square so you can play against each other?**
A: This game comes with two sets of boards and pieces, just like The Genius Square. Players can play solo or against each other.

**Q: Is this challenging and fun enough for smart adults? Most reviews mention kids and Genius Square sounds too easy. There is a 6 year old in the family**
A: I think you would find Genius star more challenging. Genius square is good fun and can be challenging at times . We have both games and play regularly .
